Vanity, Immodest Dress/Clothing, Shallow People, Cosmetics, Makeup

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women [and men] of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful." (1 Peter 3:3-6)

VANITY,
IMMODEST DRESS, AND MAKEUP

Our Lady of Fatima:
"The sins of the world are too great! The sins which lead most
souls to hell are sins of the flesh! Certain
fashions are going to be introduced which will offend Our Lord very
much. Those who serve God should not follow these fashions. The
Church has no fashions; Our Lord is always the same.
Many marriages are not good; they do not please Our Lord and are not
of God."

"Your
beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair
and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should
be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet
spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way
the holy women [and men] of the past who put their hope in God used
to make themselves beautiful." (1 Peter 3:3-6)

The
divine authority of God’s word demands that you always dress
humbly by not wearing tight clothes that show your breasts or your
behind or by showing too much skin that leads to temptation, and that
you also abstain from using any kind of makeup, jewelry, and
accessories (except for Rosaries or Brown Scapulars and the like
which is a very great way to protect oneself against the devil) in
order not to give a bad example or tempt your neighbor into carnal
lust and sin. For every single person you have tempted with your
immodest appearance will demand that God executes his righteous
vengeance on you since you tempted them into lustful thoughts!

Our
Lord Jesus Christ teaches in St. Bridget’s revelations, that
all who uses make-up or immodest clothing will be especially
tormented for every single person that have seen them in their entire
life unless they amend before the moment of their death, which is,
sad to say, impossible to know when it will be. That can be thousands
and thousands of people executing vengeance on you in hell for all
eternity! What a horror! That of course means you cannot go and bathe
in public since that would be even more immodest and immoral! The
world has indeed changed very much the last 100-200 years; yet, no
one should think that he could do these things just because they are
universally accepted. Do you want to go with the majority? Then,
sadly, Hell awaits you for all eternity!

"A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a
man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment; for whoever does these
things is an abomination to the LORD your God." (Deut 22:5).

Women
should not dress or act like men, for this is an abomination in God's
eyes. God created the human race with two genders, intending each to
have his and her proper place in Creation. Men and women are not
meant to behave or dress the same manner. Part of the beauty of the
human race is found in the differences between men and women. We
each live within a larger society. We are each influenced by the
culture around us. Yet society and culture often teach us false
things, which lead us away from God. Most women (at least in Western
society and culture) dress and act very much like men. They seek the
same roles in society, the family, and the Church. They are following
a popular teaching of our culture today, that women and men are meant
to have the same roles, and especially that women are meant to take
up roles formerly held only or mainly by men. They are displaying
their adherence to this teaching by dressing like men. This teaching
of our culture is contrary to the teaching of Christ.

God
wants men and women to act and dress according to their gender and
the place God has given each one in Creation. Clothing and hairstyles
are expressions of one's thoughts, behavior, and attitude. Women are
not meant to behave like men, nor to have the same roles as men,
therefore they should not dress or groom themselves like men. And
vise versa.

"Think
not that I have come to abolish the law and the prophets; I have not
come to abolish them but to fulfil them. For truly, I say to you,
till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass
from the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of
the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called
least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them
shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Mt 5:17-19).

Saint
Padre Pio used to refuse to hear the confession of women who were
wearing pants or an immodest dress.

PADRE PIO ON MODERN-DAY FASHIONS

1
Timothy 2:9: “In like manner I wish women also in decent
apparel: adorning themselves with modesty and sobriety…”

Galatians
5:19: “Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are
fornication, uncleanness, immodesty…”

Padre
Pio had strong views on female fashions in dress. When the mini-skirt
craze started, no one dared to come to Padre Pio’s monastery
dressed in such an inappropriate fashion. Other women came not in
mini skirts, but in skirts that were shortish. Padre Pio got very
upset about this as well.

Padre
Pio tolerated neither tight skirts nor short or low-necked dresses.
He also forbade his spiritual daughters to wear transparent
stockings. He would dismiss women from the confessional, even before
they got inside, if he discerned their dress to be inappropriate.
Many mornings he drove one out after another – ending up
hearing only very few confessions. He also had a sign fastened to the
church door, declaring: “By Padre Pio’s explicit wish,
women must enter his confessional wearing skirts at least eight
inches (20 cm) below the knees. It is forbidden to borrow longer
dresses in church and to wear them for the confessional.”

Padre
Pio would rebuke some women with the words, “Go and get
dressed.” He would at times add: “Clowns!” He
wouldn’t give anyone a pass, whether they were people he met or
saw the first time, or long-time spiritual daughters. In many cases,
the skirts were many inches below the knees, but still weren’t
long enough for Padre Pio! Boys and men also had to wear long
trousers, if they didn’t want to be kicked out of the church.

The
immodest have in truth a special place in hell waiting for them since
they are the source of the most abominable sins of the flesh, as St.
Paul teaches us in
First Corinthians,

“Fly
fornication. Every sin that a man doth, is without the body; but he
that committeth fornication, sinneth against his own body!”
(1 Cor 18)

This
should of course be understood in the sense of literal fornication as
well as fornication in the mind which also is a mortal and damnable
sin! You will be held accountable for every eye that have seen you if
you use make-up or immodest clothing. That can account for thousands
and thousands of people executing vengeance on you in hell for all
eternity! Even
if you don't use any make-up or dress vainly, God will still judge
you to hell if you take delight in vain thoughts or have vain
opinions of yourself. If a single thought can damn a person, how much
more should tempters with immodest clothing and makeup be damned!
This accounts for all kinds of makeup a person may use for vanity.
How abominable to want to be accepted for your appearance rather than
for your opinions! Oh, vanity, you shall soon rot in the grave, but
your soul shall burn for ever more in hell since you thought to make
your exterior beautiful, and, in so doing, perverted your interior.
